Lio by Mark Tatulli for November 18, 2013

Commere, Ishy, I’ll give you a hug.

Dad’s a bit concerned he’ll be hugged too tight.

Even Squidward Tentacles of Bikini Bottom wouldn’t like that, but his rival Squilliam Fancyson would be taken as a sap if SpongeBob Squarepants posted that in the newspaper.

(((Ishy)))! Who wouldn’t be delighted to hug dear, sweet Ismael?

A hug from a cephalopod is not an experience one soon forgets.

G’wan, Dad! Don’t leave Ishy hanging there!

Hug a cephalopod day? Shoot, here I was all set to go to a Japanese restaurant and have a cephalopod sushi. Can I hug it before I eat it?

Yep! Lio made that stuff up.

Valentine’s Day is 3 months from now!

Happy Hug a pet cephalopod day!!!

I hear he’s a little clingy.

He’s ready for his hug!

C’mon, Dad, make Ishy your main squeeze! Or should that be the other way around?
